You do what you are afraid of, and then the fear goes away. Not the other fucking way around. SBAP and man up to face life for all it is.
You can try to run away from life and the challenges it comes with by drinking and doing other things that make you more of a pussy, but in the end you won't be able to run or hide.

And somehow I don't think drinking can help you get over alcoholism. Really, it's more likely to exacerbate the problem.
But more to the point; don't drink to get over AA. You'll also get rid of your ability to game. The point of these skills aren't so you can go out and pull, they're so that when you see someone you want to pull you can. Unless you're going to carry booze with you wherever you go - which I would NOT recommend - then this will defeat the purpose. You won't get into the headspace of "Oh, I can do it drunk so I can do it sober," you'll get into the headspace of "I can't do this without a drink." _________________ "Plan only what you must and live for the present - for tomorrow everything could change." - Personal Motto.

this is no self inflated self esteem bullshit. this is the real deal. work on becoming a better man in all areas of your life.
confidence will follow. aiite nigga?

Do you really want to be able to only ever sarge drunk? The problem is, even if its only a pint you have before sarging, next time you will rely on it more. - you will tell yourself - yeah i cant do it without a pint in me. The more you do it the harder it will be to sarge without it. STOP.
Alcahol should never be a resort for AA.
And chief nice metaphor with the fighting a black belt. _________________ V1V

Besides in addition to curing your AA, you might get a few numbers out of it if your game is tight.
also the whole drinking to get over approach anxiety should definately be a major concern, it happened to a friend of mine. he is an AFC like most people but he had it so dead set in his mind that he needed booze to approach women and unfortunately now he relies on booze for dealing with way more than approach anxiety on saturday nights.
